Summary: Not Quite as Good as the Previous Fremont Jones Mysteries
Comment: I have read all of the books in the Fremont Jones series. I was a little disappointed in "Death Train to Boston", mostly due to the change in writing style. Without giving too much away, Fremont is injured in a train wreck at the onset of the book ~ this results in her character being very passive throughout the story. I prefer the previous novels where Fremont has a more active role. Also, the book constantly flips back and forth from Fremont to Michael, which keeps you reading but can be frustrating. Just when something interesting is about to happen, the action flips to the other character. The good side of this, however, is that the reader gets to see more into Michael's feelings for Fremont.
Overall a very good book, and definitely worth reading. It's just not up to speed with the previous novels in the series.

Summary: So when do we get to Boston?
Comment: "Death Train to Boston" jumped off the shelf and into my arms. I was so pleased with the previous Fremont Jones stories that when I saw this book was finally out I nabbed it instantly, but I was very disappointed. Where was the mystery, the intricate characters, or even an adventure. I couldn't believe the train ride was over within the first 10 pages and when we did board the train again with Michael and Li I couldn't understand what Ms. Day was attempting to acheive in adding the mysterious stranger from Michael's past to the mix. I was even more disappointed to see Fremont in such a demour, passive light that I will probably get the next book out at the library, if I read it at all. I cannot convey my disappointment in such colorful characters being strung along in such a pointless story.

Summary: I liked it!
Comment: Not sure why several reviewers didn't like this book in the series by Dianne Day - I thought it was great! I'll admit I didn't care much for the Meiling stuff, but other than that, it was a great plot! A lot of facts about Utah that I didn't know and the Mormons, too. It was a great mystery!
